>Before we can declare the installation/upgrade a success and begin configuring 
your site, we need to test its basic functionality. The first way to test it is 
to click the "Go to your PostNuke site" and see if PostNuke comes up.
</P
><P
>If you do not see a PostNuke page, something went wrong. The first thing to 
check is that no "index.html" file exists in your web directory. If there is 
such a file, rename it (or delete it) to prevent it from overriding the 
"index.php" file. Also, if you performed an upgrade to PostNuke, you may need 
to clear the cookies in your browser, and then restart your browser.
</P
><P
>If you get a message that says something like: "Warning: Access denied for 
user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in newinstall.php on line 36 
Unable to make database", then your database username and/or password is 
incorrectly defined.

should now do the following:
